I just purchased a 02 e46 non zsp. I'm coming from a '06 e90 330 w/zsp so I'm unfamiliar with the desired set up for 18vb3/csl style rims. I'm going to drop it on h&r sports, please advise the correct offset to purchase. Thank you!

The only thing I want to avoid is rubbing or any modification on the car, could you please tell me which would fit my car with no issues?
Also, if its not too much trouble, could you tell me tire sizes as well, I have no idea which sizes go with what wheel size....
Thank you so much!

I have a 2002 330ci with sport suspension, i wanted to know if I could fit 18x9.5 et 45 VB3's with 265/35 r18 on the rear with out rubbing? and also what et you would recommend for the from wheels so it doesn't look funny?

I had a question, I am really looking forward to buying 19 inch VB3's on my 2002 330ci. It has the sport ride height and I would like to maintain the overall size of the wheel so that my performance is not affected. What would you recommend as far as tire size goes without rubbing? I have a lot of fender space that I would like to fill without rubbing. Also, I would like the back rims to be more deep/ concave than the front rims. Thanks for the help. Looking forward to doing business with velocity motoring.

Are there any concerns I need to know about regarding the following wheel-tire set up on 2004 BMW 325i with stock suspension? I have done some research and I believe the clearance to the strut housing will be reduced by 11/16inch and outside edge of wheel will be moved out 13/16 inch. Doesn't seem like much, but I would appreciate any input.

thanks for the reply. Do the v10s have more concavity compare to the vb3?
as far as rubbing I do plan on lowering a bit. Not completely slammed but enough to close up the gap. will I run into problems?
